Manchester - James Mottram International Piano Competition

This major biennial event offers an all-round learning experience for young pianists under 30 from all over the world. All participants will receive invaluable learning opportunities: those who do not progress to the next stage of the competition will be given the opportunity to take part in a public masterclass given by a jury member during their time in Manchester. The first prize is £10,000. The jury is chaired by Graham Scott, Head of Keyboard Studies at the RNCM. Applications for the 2027 competition will open in April 2027.
